Fours. Chambersburg, Pa. THERE is a strong influence at Washington working to have the government make for the improvement of rivers and other internal communications, so as to facilitate and cheapen freights. The movement understood to be in the interest of Grangers. The government is not in a pecuniary condition to make appropriations for any bat the most pressing necessities, and we hope the powers-that-be will have nerve enough to guard the treasury.

-Lebanon Courier. THE Franklin Citizen states that one carlous episode in Caleb Cushing's life- curions for a nominee for Chief Justice has not hither to seen the light. That is his arrest, at Harrisburg, in 1861, by Major Gideon J. Ball, pursuance of a telegram from Gen. Scott.

Major B. escorted him to Governor Curtin's office, where he was informed that the government deemed it prudent to require him take the iron-clad oath of allegiance. This did, after some hesitation, and was then re- leased. THE NEW ELECTION LAW. Last week, we made partial promise to publish the new election law, but as we could not do so without crowding out matter of more interest to the general reader, we give only the following sections relating to the approaching February election: SEC.

14. That from and immediately after the passage of this act, the court of common pleas in the proper county, in election districts wherein assessors have not heretofore been elected, shall appoint one reputable person in each election district to be the assessor thereof, who shall perform all the duties relating to elections now required to be performed by assessors under the provisions of this act; such assessor shall be appointed 88 nearly as can be ascertained from the party having a majority of the voles in their respective districts. SEC. 15. That at the election to be held on the third Tuesday of February.

next, and at the election annually thereafter, there shall be elected in each election district in the state as well in those wherein the registration of voters bas heretofore been made by officers appointed and not chosen by the people to perform the duty as in all others, one person as judge and two inspectors, in conformity with the general laws of the commonwealth to conduct the elections for one year, and also an assessor who shall perform the duties incident to elections as required by the provisions of this act. SEC. 16. That the assessors appointed under the fourteenth section of this act shall within five days after their appointment proceed to make out lists of the qualified electors in their respective election districts, and deliver the same to the commissioners, who shall transmit a certified copy of the same to the judge of each election district at least forty -eight hours before the election to be held on the third Tuesday of February next; said assessors shall also post 10 copies thereof in conspicuous places in each election district at least ten days before said election, and the lists so made by the assessors during the two secular days preceding the day of the delivery thereof to the commissioners (of which days public notice shall be given by hand bill through said district) shall be open for inspection and correction, in the custody of the said assessor from ten a. to three p.m., and from six p.

to nine p. of each of said days, in the manner provided in section second of this act, and all of the remedies, privilegas and powers secured and provided thereby, are hereby made applicable to the lists herein named. SEC. 17. The respective assessor, inspectors and jduges of the elections, shall each have the power to administer oaths to any person claiming the right to be assessed or the right of suffrage, or in regard to any other matter or thing required to be done or required by any of said officers under this act, and any willful, false swearing by any person in relation to any matter or thing concerning which they shall be lawfully interrogated by any of said officers or overseers, shall be perjury.

TAR PHILADELPHIA CAMPAIGN. The mayoralty campaign is attracting the attention of almost everybody outside a as well as inside the "Quaker City." Immense mass meetings are nightly held in various parts of the city, and the McClure-Citizen's party are making it lively for the regular Republican candidate. Of the Republican papers of the city, Stokley, the Republican candidate, has them all bat one. The Telegraph, Inquirer and Bulletin, which two years ago gave MoClure a cordial support when running for State Senator from the Fourth District, all oppose him bitterly for mayor. At a mass meeting in the Twenty Third Ward, on Monday evening, Col.

McClure paid his respects to these "bolting" journals in the following characteristic manner The Bulletin has bolted until it was the master political gymnast of the city (laughter.) and it was the more entertaining because it was usually sure to elect the candidates it most violently opposed. The leaders laughed at it, sotaetimes took the trouble to swear at it, and counted the objectionable candidates in by a large majority matter of amusement. (Laughter. It General Collis as a soldier in peace and a civilian in war, and now it logically insists upon his re-election because it opposed him before. It supported me two years ago, and echoed with intolerant emphasis all I said about honest election laws and honest returns," and then it steadily opposed every effort I made to enset the laws it bad demanded, or to arrest the wrongs it bad complained of It Hot caly bolts the party whenever it pleases bat it chief ambition socis to be la bolt against and yet it is not happy.

and cheers.) The Inquirer bolted time again, and does so still when it rakes fancy, taking care, however, to Esop ita bolt ing within the range of Telegraph in a natural bolter, and has within five years opposed more Republican candidates than it supported. It bolted against part of the present ticket some add it a for it. to NOTICE to TAX PAYERS! NEW MODE OF WARFARE AGAINST Local optic prohib 10 are about caper dad fighting the liquor tradic. The towns of Ohio and Indiana meet together and form Woman's Temperance Alliance, and are then ready for business. Proceed ing en masse from saloon to saloon they attack the with song of praise and prayer until, converted or driven to despair, be in obliged to vortender.

Daily meetings are bald and the members of the Alliance perambulate the streets through mud and rain on there crusades against King Alcohol.Sometimes they pitch a tent belore the doors of a saloon and open regular seige against it, driving off the customers without, and outdrowning with their temperance hymns the hilarions songs of the bibulous within. At London, Ohio, the committee called upon saloon keeper. The ladies entered, and, sa is their custom requested permission to hold their meeting. This he at frat consented to, but a second thought seemed to fire his brain, and he told them they had no right to interfere with his business, de. His whiskey was in the next room, he said, and they could go in there and pray and sing.

"We come to prey with the man who sells the whiskey," responded 8 lady. He next ordered them out, with promise of violence. Out they went, and meekly and gently held their devotions on the street. The ladies go about this work with much earnestness, we are told, and hope to do much good. Already the infection has spread itself in the West to a marvelous degree, and is rapidly marching Eastward.

THE NEWSPAPER. Columns might be written on this subject -of what the newspaper once was and what it is to-day. The Springfield Republican does it in a few lines: "The one thing which the unfaithful, corrupt, peculating, pilfering public servant dreads above all others, and has most reason to dread, is the newspaper. The newspaper means detection, exposure, punishment. It did not always mean this.

Time was when the newspaper was the great man's very obedient, humble servant, taking its opinions from his lips, always ready to run on his errands, thankfuly gathering up the crumbs from his table. In those by-gone days the newspaper's cardinal rule for the conduct of life was to stand by the leaders of the party through thick and thin, reserving all its hard language for the other side. But the times change and the newspaper changes with them. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of this revolution in the theory and practice of journalism that is going on, so silently but so swiftly, all over the land. We have pointed out its bearings and inevitable consequences too often to need now to go over them again in detail.

But it cannot be repeated to often, that this new glare of publicity, which the Butler school of politicians so cordially dread and deprecate, is the best guarantee for the future of free, popular institutions on this continent. In securing the newspaper that holds itself consciously responsible to them, and to them only under God, the people con vert their nominal, tilular sovereignty into a fact. They no longer vote in the dark. They know what their servants are about from day to day, and they have the means of letting their servants know what they think of them, and what they want of them." Notes from the Capital. NO.

LVL. The Jewelry- 4 Job, HARRISBURG, Feb. 6, 1874. In November last I gave you account of most brutal murder which had taken place in the lower end of this county, and also of the arrest and imprisonment of two colored men as the perpetrators of the horrible crime. At.

the last term of our court (last week) these men, Lewis Rosentine and John Moody were tried and found guilty of murder in the first degree. Last Tuesday being regular sentence day, Judge Pearson manifested his good judgment by having the prisoners brought before him in the morning, instead of afternoon, to receive their sentence. This Was done that the idle, listless crowd who usually throng the court room on such occasions, might be foiled in their curiosity. Rosentine, by far the most intelligent of the two, dropped to the floor in the court room when standing before the judge receiving his sentence, and had to be supported by the Sheriff and his assistants during the time the judge was speaking. Moody, his accomplice, and the worst of the two, was very much unconcerned, and grinned like an ape during the terrible ordeal.

Rosentine has made a full confession and charges the whole affair of plotting the robbery and murder, and urging its consummaLion, upon John Preston, who is now in prison as an accessory to the crime, and who was the fellow that turned States Evidence and put the police on the track of the murderers, when he found that things were waxing hot. Preston is a bad nigger, and no doubt exists in the mind of the community bat that Rosentine's story is correct. He. Preston, has been terror to the colored population for years, and nobody would regret if he should be hung with the reel. Janauschek, the great tragedienne, (under the management of John T.

Ford of the Washington and Baltimore Theatres), has been taking our play going people by surprise on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. She appeared first in Schiller fine drama of "Mary Stuart," queen of the Scotts, and wound up on Friday evening with "Macbeth." The magnificent Opera House was crowded, although reserved orchestra chairs and dress circle seata commanded $1.50 and the family circle $1.25. No bard times in that. The I believe is still in session, bat for the life of me I can't make out what they are doing. go up to the occa sionally, bat all is confusion worse confoundat In fact the present Legislatore is the tamest that has been in session since my recollection.

Considerable drollery was brought out the 1 other day when committee was appointed to examine the hatching houser, de. erected by the feh commissioners near the celebrated Springs in Lancaster county. Many of the wanted to know if their would be paid while on the their buck to the special the to pay handsomeh for il bat a he looked his pocket- book discovered his smalle to be a five dollar bill. He could not afford to give that much for a sermon; still he wanted to pal, a and five the dollar plate note: came nearer and be nearer. Laid it on the plate, whispering to the urbane vestryman in tones audible enough to bel heard by all in the pew "I want four dollars and fifty cents change, to which the gentleman holding the plate quietly, modded assent, and passed on.

After the benediction I pronounced, pionaly. refreshed law maker tarried in the pow until the four dollars and fifty cents change was brought, which was done with due alacrity, counted carefully, and deposited in the pocket-book of its owner. After this, will any one doubt the purity of the present Legislature There was a Lime when a legislator would have put ten dollars on such a plate, and not cared or asked for change. But there are no more lavish personal expenditures here men know precisely what they can afford, and the change is always an object to look after. It's wholesome, ain't it One of the best and most useful inventions I have seen for a long time, and one which should be in the hands of every farmer and dealer in grain, is the new Half Bashel Measare and stroker combined.

It saves time, 18 always ready, and such decided improvement over the old round half bushel, that wherever showa, it at once takes precedent. A good live man could make money with it. The measure was invented and patented by practical miller, and is of special value to that class of dealers. L. H.

Kinnard has of the invention in this city, and will farnish any information desired. Among the arrivals in the city from your busy, live town, during the past week, I noticed Messrs. Wm. C. Eyster and George Watson.

Also, a prominent official of the C. V. R. no doubt looking after, or arranging for better depot accommodations for the traveling public who patronize that well managed and busy road. A second reception will be held at the Governor's Mansion on Tuesday evening next.

The kid gloved fraternity, and elite generally will be on hand. My old friend, "that fellow. from your town, was in the city last week, and doing his best to steady a lamp post on Market street. There is a deep under carrent, as well outspoken dissatiefaction in the city, in relation to the new fire alarm telegraph now about finished at a cost of ten thousand dollars, a sum about double what it ought to have cost, and the fact is, it was not needed at all. Had City Council purchased new hose for some of the Companies, repaired the engine houses, steamers, hose carriages, it would have shown much better sense; but then, the money would have been spent at home, and there could'nt have been a "job" in it.

If Mr. Patterson, former Pres. of City Council and Kepublican candidate for mayor is feated, be need never ask the cause why If the old "superstitious" belief in the Hog's" ventures are -worth a we will soon rejoice in Spring weather, for ground hog day was bleak and dreary and his ancient had nary a show or shadow to PICK UP. Notes of the Day. M.

M. Pomeroy has taken his wife into partnership as associate editor of his paper. Rev. Fanny Roberts, of Kittery, recently performed the marriage ceremony for her son. Attorney General Dimmick decides that the same power (the Legislature) which enacted the Local Option law can repeal it.

Gen. Sherman opposes any reduction in the, army, condemns the Quaker Indian policy, and asserts that of the red man is the most charitable. treatment Congress has been invited to assemble in Carpenters' Hall, Philadelphia, on the 5th of September, the one hundredth anniversary of the meeting of the First American Congress. David White, a boy only twelve years old, committed suicide in York by hanging. His name had been put on the blackboard at schooi, and it is thought this produced a despondency of mind which led to the fatal act.

Efforts are being made in North Carolina to compel the State authorities to hold the necessary legal inquest on the bodies of the Siamese twins. Another account says that their bodies are on the road to Philadelphia, for dissection. A Western lady concludes an anti-female suffrage letter as follows: "You may look at the matter in whatever light you will, but simmer it down and it is but a quarrel with the Almighty that we are not all The rolling mills of the Catasauqua Manufacturing Company, at Catasaagau, Pa, which have been idle Pince last October, resumed work this week, the difficulties between the employes and the company having been com promised. Over 500 men are employed in the works. It is generally conceded that the Philadelphia physicians who went to Mount Airy, North Carolina, have agreed to pay a considerable sum of money for the privilege of making the autopsy of the Siamese twins, and that it wil! be done in the most private man uer.

Joseph Briley, a youth of 17, was murdered at a dance in Davison county, on Friday night. He had quarrelled with Robert Bates regarding their claims to the hand of a young woman in the dance, and, the decision being left to her, she took Briley, who was shot dead by Bates while on the floor.The murderer escaped. Andrew Weiss, proprietor of a larger beer saloon in Reading, was committed to the county jail for ten days for selling liquor on Sunday, and his term having expired on Saturday, about five hundred of his friends, preceded by a band of music, marched to the jail and from thence accompanied him to his saloon, where lager flowed the remainder of the day. The flow of currency is becoming steady and ample again, and with it the whole circle of industrial enterprise begins to exhibit signs of wakening activity which, in the end, must largely, if not wholly compensate for the sudden stagnation imposed by the The confidence of the people is becoming restored the money nearly back from the grain crop it is coming in all the time from the cotton crop, and the people who hare been boarding are them out of will or necessity.
